Released as a highly successful single from the iconic 1969 album Abbey Road, "Something" marked George Harrison's emergence as a premier songwriter within The Beatles. This sophisticated pop ballad, blending soft rock elegance with orchestral arrangements, earned critical acclaim and became a global standard.
Featuring Harrison's tender lead vocal and one of his most celebrated guitar solos, complemented by Paul McCartney's melodic bassline, "Something" captures the wonder of falling in love. Its universal appeal and beautiful craftsmanship secure its place as an essential Beatles classic from their final recording phase.
SONG MEANING: Written by George Harrison, the song expresses profound admiration and attraction for someone's unique qualities ("Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover"). While often seen as a straightforward love song (initially inspired by Pattie Boyd), it also contains a hint of uncertainty about the relationship's future growth ("You're asking me will my love grow / I don't know, I don't know").
